Goin' Back lyrics

I think I'm going back

To the things I learned so well

In my youth

I think I'm returning to

The days when I was young enough

To know the truth

Now there are no games

To only pass the time

No more electric trains

No more trees to climb

Thinking young and growing older is no sin

And I can play the game of life to win

I can recall a time

When I wasn't ashamed to reach out

To a friend

Now I think I've got

A lot more than just my toys

To lend

Now there's much to do

Than watch my sailboat glide

And every day can be

My magic carpet ride

A little bit of courage is all we lack

So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back

A little bit of courage is all we lack

So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back

(La, la, la...)
